Should be fitting these in the next 4 days and maybe put the passenger door card back in on monday (weather permitting)
Arrived yesterday. Build quality is as expected from Alpine, although FIRMLY in the budget range. Don't be thinking these will look swish on display because, although nice, I'll be honest... It's probably best to keep them hidden. Cone wasn't white as I'd expected but quite a nice 'fresh' silver. Suspension ring is concave (which I thought was a nice touch) but where its bonded to the cone its a little (for want of a better word) scruffy, not the clean lines like some of their more premium ranges. Tweeter is mounted solidly and appears to be well constructed, cap is mounted next to the drive unit and almost within the confines of the plastic housing.
Basket is a little flimsy around the mounting edges yet quite solid under the cone and around the Magnet, will be fine once mounted, its plastic, opposed to metal of OEM and Cast aluminium of other ranges... Drive magnet is nothing special either, just a bog standard run of the mill speaker magnet.
Spider, tinsel leads and spade connectors are all 'average' and will be perfectly acceptable for the application.
All in all, although above sounds quite negative (and I'm comparing to a set of Type R components I had a few years ago), I'm impressed. They were <£30 delivered so I am neither expecting nor wanting miracles or big sound from them. Only time will tell how I get on with them once installed.
The coop's gettin' Alpines
